2023 Rocas de Seña

“Rocas de Seña is not a second wine of the Seña label, but a distinct interpretation of the Las Vertientes vineyard, part of the Errázuriz group. Planted in the late 1990s, this site is located 45 kilometers from the Pacific, near the Seña vineyard. The primary difference lies in the blend: while Seña is Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, Rocas de Seña features Malbec as a third of the composition, complemented by Mediterranean varieties not found in Seña, including Syrah (17%), Garnacha (14%), and Monastrell (4%). Rocas is defined by its fruity profile, characterized by juicy flavors and aromas of ripe red fruit complemented by spices. The texture is fluid, featuring crisp tannins and energetic acidity. This is an excellent iteration of a red wine produced since 2020.”

“Lovely freshness, with pretty aromas of fresh herbs, minerals, red berries and blue fruit. A juicy, medium-bodied palate showing generous fruit. It’s poised and linear, with fine tannins and a long, refined finish. A fresh, vibrant wine that already shows its appeal. 35% malbec, 21% cabernet sauvignon, 17% syrah, 14% grenache, 9% petit verdot and 4% mourvedre. 90% French barrels and 10% foudres.”

“The 2023 iteration of Rocas de Seña blends 35% Malbec, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Syrah, 14% Grenache, 9% Petit Verdot and 4% Mourvèdre, a make up translated into moreish yet bright complexity. The juicy core of red cherry, cranberry and pomegranate is held by graphite-lined tannins, assertive but fine and powdery. The mid-palate reveals intricate layering of redcurrant, cassis and red bell pepper, all cloaked in tomato leaf and dried lavender and sprinkled with pink pepper and nutmeg. Long tail of tarragon, rockrose and saffron. Robust elegance, playfulness and dynamism – hallmarks of Rocas de Seña – are again on display in a wine that is so alluring now but will also certainly improve in bottle.”
